Gemma Fox - Four people have been arrested in Sweden on the suspicion of planning a terrorist attack on the country's second largest city Gothenburg.Police in western Sweden also closed an arts and culture centre Saturday night after they had received information about a specific threat. The centre opened again in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A spokesman for Vastra Gotaland police, Ulf Edberg, said, "We decided to clear the area because of a threat that could have involved serious danger to life, health or extensive destruction of property."
A press secretary for Sweden's National Security Service (SAPO), Sara Kvarnstrom confirmed the arrest of four men who were suspected of planning a terror attack. She also said that the counter-terrorism unit was also involved in the arrests.
The Swedish capital of Stockholm was subjected to a botched terrorist attack last December when the only person killed in a bomb attack was the bomber. Neighbouring Norway is still reeling after the July 22nd bomb attack on the city of Oslo which killed eight people in the government quarter of the city and the deaths of sixty-nine, mostly teenagers, who were shot while attending a conference on the island of Utoya. Anders Behring Breivik was arrested and admitted the killing of all seventy-seven people.
